Underdog Luke “Single” Singleton is yearning to make a
comeback. After getting hit in the neck with a pitch—an injury that nearly cost
him his life—he has one last chance to play for his hometown team, the Stockton
Beavers. But his mom has Alzheimer’s, and he’s all she has to depend on. How
can he pursue his career, much less someone special?
Personal care aide Roberta Bennett is done dating baseball
players. Having had her share of heartbreak, she heads to Stockton hoping for a
fresh start. But after she finds Luke’s mom outside, lost, and alone, she can’t
refuse when he hires her on the spot. Unbeknownst to Luke, Roberta is all too
familiar with the violent tendencies of the pitcher who hit him.
Now that they’re living under the same roof, the last thing
either of them is looking for is a relationship. But it’s not long before they
find themselves drawn to each other. And right when Luke is thinking about
finally making a change to his single status, a secret from Roberta’s past
emerges with the power to tear them apart.
About the Author
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd
hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her
birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated
match-up between two of baseball’s biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her
book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the
game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in
Collette‘s impressionable brain
from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports +
romance = a little slice of heaven.
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and
Manhattan, Collette indulges her
inner fangirl by going to as manygames as she can from hockey to baseball and
downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she’s
not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park,
satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye
out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her

She is the author of the New York Kings series which
includes: NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER, GAME ON, PERFECTGAME, INSIDE GAME and GAME
WINNER.
